@birdcaging asked: “kaito, uhm —” wringing her hands together , anemone glances away , visage a shade of scarlet. “ s - so , you know of my masquerade ball , yes ... ? I would be so grateful if you ... accompany me ... i - if you ever thought of it ... !”
“ . . . ” he STARES down at her, blinks once. then twice. ever-so-slightly tilts his head... and then... slowly, he steps closer-- looking rather serious all of a sudden-- gently, he takes her hands in his.... and....
his entire face lights up (he all but tears up, and--oh. Wait, no. He does tear up a little.) and he grins, giving her hands a little squeeze. “I WOULD LOVE TO! IT’S GONNA BE SO COOL I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE HOLDING A MASQUERADE AT YOUR HOUSE ANEMONE YOU LOOKED SO NICE AT PROM SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW COOL YOU’LL LOOK ALL DRESSED FOR THIS---” and off he goes. and keeps going. and going and-- machine gunning out a string of sentences and half thoughts. He’s just so excited!! He LOVES things like this... although no one would ever know it.... until it came up. Which it never does. Or never USUALLY does anyway. Til now. This is gonna be so cool! He’s only ever imagined going to one of these things in his head, just for fun as a kid-- but to actually participate in one?? He’s ecstatic!!
